Answer 8

wait so im more confused now, so is it a indoor basketball or a outdoor ?

Answer 9

" it a indoor basketball or a outdoor"

what is?

you are not asked which basket ball you chose ...


you are asked which box would you see to choose a basketball.
and its the 3rd box.

Answer 10

okay but then the correct labels for the boxes has me confused

Answer 11

when you chose to see one basketball from 3rd box.
it could be indoor or outdoor

and depending on that you will change the labels :)

Answer 12

so i can choose whether i want the basket from the third box to be indoor or outdoor

Answer 13

"all of the labels are on the wrong box"
is a very important information!

no, you can't choose....thats why it depends on what you get from the 3rd box

Answer 14

so how can i figure out what i get from the third box?

Answer 15

again, its not asked what will you get from the 3rd box.
depending on what you get (which is not in your control), you will label the boxes as i explained in the previous comments.

Answer 16

let me elaborate my thought process,

we know all boxes have wrong labels,
so box 3 definitely has either both indoor or both outdoor basketballs.

seeing box 3, we will confirm whether it has 2 indoor or 2 outdoor basketballs.

case 1: we see indoor basketball,
so correct label for box 3 is "2 indoor basketballs"

....to be continued

Answer 17

but it says that box 3 is labeled as one indoor basketball and one outdoor basketball..

Answer 18

can you continue your thought process please

Answer 19

"but it says that box 3 is labeled as one indoor basketball and one outdoor basketball"
thats why we can say that box 3 definitely has either both indoor or both outdoor basketballs

...continued

now box1 is also incorrectly labelled,
if I label box1 as "1 indoor and 1 outdoor basketball"
then box2 will remain as "2 outdoor basketball"
which is incorrect, given "all boxes have wrong labels"

hence I MUST label box1 as "2 outdoor basketballs"
and what remains is box2 with label "1 indoor and 1 outdoor basketball"

this is the most important part, try to understand it

Answer 20

so then that means that the correct label for the third box is 2 indoor basketballs?

Answer 21

if we see an indoor basketball from the 3rd box, then yes

Answer 22

okay so then i get it now

Answer 23

so then the first box is 2 outdoor, the second is 1 outdoor/i indoor, and the third box is 2 indoor?

Answer 24

thats right, if we see an indoor ball in 3rd box.

Answer 25

so is that the answer i can submit in or

Answer 26

you do realize thats half the answer right?

because we could see an outdoor basketball from the 3rd box!

Answer 27

so how would we know if the third box is indoor or outdoor

Answer 28

lol same question again!

we would know what the correct label for the 3rd box is, only after we see one basketball from that box.

if its a indoor basketball,
the correct label for 3rd box is "2 indoor basketballs"

if its a outdoor basketball,
the correct label for 3rd box is "2 outdoor basketballs"

Answer 29

so then which one is it?! im sorry can you just tell me please im frustrated over here

Answer 30

A. From which box would you choose to see a basketball in order to be able to label all the boxes correctly?

Answer : From box 3.

--------------------------
B. What is the correct label for the first, second, and third box?

Answer:

If we saw an indoor basketball from box 3,
then

Label for box 1 : 2 Outdoor basketball
Label for box 2: 1 Indoor and one Outdoor basketball
Label for box 3: 2 Indoor basketball

But if we saw an outdoor basketball from box 3,
then

Label for box 1 : 1 Indoor and one Outdoor basketball
Label for box 2: 2 Indoor basketball
Label for box 3: 2 Outdoor basketball
----------------

^^ that should be your answer

Answer 31

so there's technically two answers right?

Answer 32

yes, as i said, depending on what ball you see :)
